Mers Intérieures : Chateaubriand, la mer, et les Mémoires d’outre-tombe / Interior Seas : Chateaubriand, the sea, and the Memoirs from Beyond the GraveGirault-Fruet, Arlette 12 October 2018 (has links)
La mer a d’abord été un espace géographique bien réel dans la vie de Chateaubriand, l’immense champ libre accordé à son enfance. En ouvrant le monde grand large devant son regard, la mer autorisait une manière singulière d’en prendre possession. L’auteur des Mémoires d’outre-tombe se revendique navigateur, découvreur, voyageur. Il utilise spontanément le vocabulaire des matelots. Pourtant, il n’a vécu au bord de la mer que sept années pendant l’enfance, n’a effectué ensuite que des escales brèves, sous des cieux étrangers. Il se réfère malgré tout à la mer à chaque instant, la réinstalle sans cesse dans un texte avec lequel d’innombrables correspondances finissent par s’établir. L’écriture elle-même épouse le rythme de la mer, ses harmonies variables. On croit toujours entendre au loin comme le roulement des vagues, comme le bruit du ressac. Tout se passe comme si la sensibilité et l’imagination de l’écrivain, demeurées marquées par une sorte de paysage originel, lisaient le monde à travers un filtre, et lui conféraient instinctivement les teintes, les arrière-plans propres aux rivages quittés. Chateaubriand se demandait avec anxiété si les Mémoires resteraient lisibles à la postérité. Mais l’écriture et la mer renvoient à une même conception de l’éternité : elles écrivent en lettres temporaires des chants qui durent toujours / The sea was first a real geographical space in Chateaubriand’s life, the boundless playing field of his childhood. By unfurling the world at large under his gaze, the sea provided him with a singular mode of appropriating it. The author of the Mémoires d’outre-tombe claimed for himself the status of seaman, discoverer, and traveller. The maritime lexicon comes to him spontaneously. While he only spent seven years of his childhood by the sea, then subsequently stopped but briefly in foreign port of calls, he keeps on referring time and again to the sea, and incessantly reinstates it in his texts, thus elaborating a rich netwwork of echoes. His very style evokes the rhythm of the sea and its ever-changing harmonics. The reader always seems to hear resounding waves and backwash in the distance. It is as if the writer’s sensibility and imagination, bearing the stamp of a foundational landscape, had him perceive the world through the shades and against the backdrops peculiar to the shores he left. Chateaubriand anxiously wondered whether the Mémoires would remain readable to his posterity. But writing and the sea conjure up the same idea of eternity : they write in labile script everlasting songs

'Something peculiar to themselves'? : a social history of the Executive Branch officers of the Royal Australian Navy, 1913-1950Sears, Jason, History, Australian Defence Force Academy, UNSW January 1997 (has links)
In 1985 Richard Preston identified three Royal Navy (RN) traditions (recruitment of officers at an early age, selection of officers from an elite social group, and insistence on sea service) which had shaped the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN). These traditions, he argued, ensured a high level of professionalism amongst officers in the infant RCN, as well as complete interoperability between the two navies, but failed to recognise the distinct needs of Canadian society. Consequently, from the Second World War onwards the RCN chose to move away from the British model and to ???Canadianise??? its officer corps. The Royal Australian Navy (RAN) also adopted these traditions, and they are examined here in the context of the social backgrounds, development and character of the permanent executive branch officers of the RAN between 1913 and 1950. This thesis argues that while the British model ensured a high level of professionalism within the RAN officer corps, in many other areas the system proved to be of doubtful utility for Australia. Although the Australian government tried to ensure that its naval officers maintained an Australian character and identity, the selection, training and operational policies of the RAN meant that its officers were, to all intents and purposes, virtually indistinguishable from their RN colleagues. While RAN officers were highly disciplined and professional men with excellent seamanship skills, unfortunately a wide social gulf developed between the Navy???s officers and its sailors. Further, the essentially scientific and practical education and indoctrination that naval officers received in their early years, combined with their narrow professional development, meant that they were, at best, only average higher level administrators and often performed poorly in dealings with their Australian political masters. The system produced a conservative type of officer, suspicious of political activity and intellectual effort, bound to the tradition of ???the Silent Service???, who felt that his country did not understand his work or sacrifices but who had not the capacity to change such community perceptions. Lacking highly educated and politically aware senior officers, the RAN found it difficult to cope with social changes after the Second World War. Consequently, the ???Australianisation??? of the naval officer corps was a slow and painful process and the profession of naval officer in Australia was to be even more marginal than numbers alone dictated.

Revisiting the gentleman : a study of hegemonic masculinity in the works of Jane AustenOlguin, Suyin 12 1900 (has links)
L’augmentation grandissante de l’attention portée dans les études sur la masculinité tant à la littérature féminine qu’à ses auteurs incite les chercheurs à se pencher de nouveau sur l’icône qu’est le gentilhomme, sur la réponse qu’offre la littérature du XVIIIe siècle face à cette idéalisation de la masculinité, et comment ces standards ont contribué à façonner nos propres perceptions des différenciations des rôles sexuels. Ce mémoire présente une analyse des personnages masculins des romans de Jane Austen, Emma, Persuasion et Mansfield Park, à travers le concept de « masculinité hégémonique » de R.W. Connell, concept qui a eu un impact certain dans les recherches retraçant comment l’histoire et l’hégémonie ont fabriqué les attentes sociales et nationales envers l’homme anglais. Les livres expliquant la conduite à avoir pour être un gentilhomme viril ont sans aucun doute perpétué ces idéaux. À travers l’étude de la politesse, de la sincérité et de l’héroïsme, perpétuellement renouvelés afin de correspondre aux nouveaux idéaux de la masculinité, cette thèse étudie les livres éducatifs influents, notamment de Locke, Knox et Secker, afin de comprendre de quelle façon la masculinité hégémonique est devenue une partie intégrante du discours et de l’éducation à l’époque de la Régence anglaise. Les œuvres d’Austen ne cesse de rappeler la vulnérabilité de l’hégémonie en rappelant constamment au lecteur l’importance des expériences et de la croissance personnelle, et ce, peu importe le sexe. Néanmoins, ses romans correspondent tout de même à ce que devrait être une éducation appropriée reposant sur les règle de conduite, l’autonomie, le travail et la sincérité; lesquels, tel que l’histoire analysée dans ce mémoire le démontrera, appartiennent également aux idéaux du nationalisme anglais et de la masculinité. / The increasing amount of attention to literature and female novelists in masculinity studies invites academics to revisit iconic figures like the gentleman in order to explore how literature responds to idealizations of manliness in eighteenth-century society and how these standards contribute to our own view of gender differentiation. This thesis analyses male characters in Jane Austen’s Emma, Persuasion and Mansfield Park under the scope of R.W. Connell’s concept of “Hegemonic Masculinity,” a concept that has been influential in the study of how history and hegemony influence social and national expectations of English masculine character. Conduct books that instructed genteel men how to be a manly gentleman perpetuated these ideals. Through the study of how politeness, sincerity, and heroism were continuously transformed to incorporate new ideals of manhood, this thesis examines influential conduct books by Locke, Knox, and Secker in order to understand how hegemonic masculinity became an essential part of Regency masculine education and discourse. Austen’s works highlight the vulnerability of hegemony by reminding the reader about the importance of human experience and growth regardless of gender. Nevertheless, her novels respond to appropriate education that instructs on principle, self-governance, industry, and sincerity, all of which, as the history addressed in this thesis demonstrates, also belonged to ideals of English nationalism and masculinity.

Désir de voyage et solitude chez le marin : exemples de la littérature classique / Sailors : the call of the sea and solitude : examples from classical literatureFerraty, Christelle 05 October 2012 (has links)
Les jeunes marins que nous sommes amenés à rencontrer dans le cadre de notre activité clinique semblent être dans un balancement entre le désir de voyager et une tendance naturelle à vouloir rester à terre, à proximité de leur famille. Au-delà de la description symptomatologique, qui évoque ce que l’on appelle communément une dépendance affective, définie par le fait que le sujet a des difficultés à s’éloigner de ses repères affectifs, et est en proie, lorsqu’il y est confronté, à la dépression, nous nous sommes demandés si cette dépendance n’était pas en tout point constitutive de la subjectivité humaine. En effet, l’enfant se développe au plan psychique dans une dépendance à la mère, avant de s’autonomiser progressivement, tout en gardant inscrites dans son inconscient les marques de cette dépendance. Qu’est-ce qui, dans ce contexte, invite les marins au voyage ? Dans cette perspective, nous avons, par l’étude de la littérature classique, exploré le déterminisme de ces êtres, tel qu’il a été perçu et décrit par les écrivains au fils des époques. Nous avons découvert chez ces marins un dualisme entre volonté de découverte, d’exploration, et besoin de demeurer sur la terre ferme. Nous avons également mis en évidence que la navigation faisait office de contenant pour le psychisme, et permettait de lutter contre la survenue d’une dépression secondaire à la séparation. Nous avons aussi démontré qu’il existait chez certains de ces marins une réactualisation de la problématique œdipienne. Enfin, nous en avons conclu qu’il s’agissait pour eux de mettre en œuvre, au travers de cette problématique, leur propre rapport à la vie et à la mort. / In our clinical domain, we are bound to come across young sailors who seem torn between a sheer desire to take to sea and a natural attraction to the shore, close to their loved ones. The symptomatogical description, more commonly know as an emotional dependence, refers to the patient's difficulty to move away from his emotional markers and his proclivity to depression in such instance. Our research work has consisted in reflecting on the close link between that very dependence and human subjectivity. Indeed, a child's psychological development depends on the mother, retaining unconscious traces of that dependence while gradually acquiring his autonomy. So we may wonder what attracts sailors to embark on a journey in that particular context. Therefore we have explored the determinism of those beings as felt and described in classical literature. We have found that these sailors waver between exploring the world and staying ashore. We have also highlighted that navigating takes the role of a recipient to the mind/psyche and enables the subject to fight any depression resourcing from separation. We have also shown that some sailors experience a return to an oedipal condition. Finally, we have come to the conclusion that, by means of experience, sailors work through their own relationship to life and death.

The trial in literature. A study of the legal aspects in three emblematic novels: The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club, by Dickens; Billy Budd, by Melville; and The Bonfire of the Vanities, by Tom Wolfe / El proceso en la literatura. Análisis de los aspectos jurídicos de tres obras emblemáticas: Los papeles póstumos del Club Pickwick, de Dickens; Billy Budd, de Melville; y La hoguera de las vanidades, de Tom WolfeZolezzi Ibárcena, Lorenzo 10 April 2018 (has links)
The plots of Billy Budd and The Bonfire of the Vanities are organized entirely around a lawsuit. In The Pickwick Papers the trial is only a part, though an important one, of a series of related adventures in which the main characters of the novel participate. In the three novels there is a trial in which the accused is found guilty, although he is actually innocent. In The Posthumous Papers of the Club Pickwick, the author’s main purpose is to present the operation of the legal system, in which the modus operandi of unscrupulous lawyers, who rely only on cheating and deceiving methods, is atthe beginning of and determines the outcome of the lawsuit. In Billy Budd, an innocent is sentenced to death in order to preserve a supposed higher interest: the common good. In The Bonfire of the Vanities, political factors, personal interests, resentments and other worldly elements determine the outcome of the trial. In the three cases, the watchmaking mechanism that a lawsuit appears to be is completely overcome by factors outside it. / Las tramas de Billy Budd y La hoguera de las vanidades están organizadas íntegramente alrededor de un juicio. En Los papeles póstumos del Club Pickwick, el proceso es una parte importante de la obra, pero también existen aventuras relacionadas en las que participan los diversos personajes. En los tres juicios se juzga a un inocente. En Los papeles póstumos del Club Pickwick, el autor busca presentar el funcionamiento real del sistema legal, en el cual el modus operandi de abogados inescrupulosos, quienes emplean únicamente métodos tramposos y fraudulentos, determina el origen y el resultado del proceso. En Billy Budd, un inocente es condenado a muerte para preservar un supuesto interés mayor: el bien común. En La hoguera de las vanidades, factores políticos, intereses personales, resentimientos y otros elementos de carácter mundano determinan el resultado del proceso. En los tres casos, el mecanismo de relojería que parece ser el proceso es totalmente sobrepasado por factores externos al mismo.
